The popular logic seems to be Bow -> Rifle, Jarate -> SMG, and Shield -> Kukri.

So.. Bow, Jarate and Kukri for offensive sniper.

Rifle, Jarate, Shield for battlements sniper.

The Jarate is a stunning commentary on how terribly unpopular and terrible the SMG is.

Though I could see myself trying out Bow, SMG and Kukri in case I run out of arrows while kiting or want to try an Arrow-Q-SMG Clip sorta thing.

The SMG sucks on purpose, though.  The rationale is that if the Sniper ever has anybody that close to him, he's pretty much fucked.  The Jarate, as awesome/stupid as it is, probably won't do much to change that, either, other than making the dead Sniper feel like he managed to do more in his last moments than fart in the enemy's general direction.

Yeah, but the SMG is frustrating in how it sucks. You might as well be spitting on enemies with the ineffectual spray from that thing. Something like the revolver would have been a better choice, especially given the fact that the class craves accuracy.

Everytime I see the SMG, I wish it was a Mauser instead. Geo knows what I'm talking about.

Actually I was killing a bunch of people (mostly Spies, but a few Pyros) with the SMG on Egypt last night.  They were suitably surprised and pissed.

Jarate should render the sandvich inedible.

I think I'm moving past Denial and into Acceptance. In a few hours I am going to become a person who owns a game where you can throw pee. I need to go reevaluate my life, try to figure out where I went wrong.

You clearly never played Postal 2, it took the jar out of the equation for you.

In a few hours I am going to become a person who owns a game where you can throw pee.  I will think about Jarate at my wedding - at my high school reunion - witnessing the birth of my beautiful child - Jarate will haunt my every waking moment for the REST OF MY LIFE.

Bill could never respect a dirty game like Okami.
